United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon joined South Korean rap phenomenon Psy in his trademark Gangnam Style dance moves Tuesday at U.N. headquarters.

Speaking to reporters, Ban said he was "a bit jealous" of his countryman, lamenting that Psy's meteoric rise to global popularity means he is no longer "the most famous Korean in the world."

The usually serious Ban loosened up and allowed Psy to teach him some of the dance moves popularized by the music video for "Gangnam Style," which has been viewed more than 530 million times on YouTube.
